My brother was Captain Michael Woodside, who died along with Lt. Creech. Countless lives have been forever changed because of that tragical day. May they both rest in peace, and may the friends and family of Lt. Creech know that many still mourn the loss of these fallen heroes.

The AH-1G (tail number 67-15845, A/4/77th Arty) had been shot down earlier in the day while conducting an attack and the two crewmen, CPT John T. McDonnell and 1LT Ronald Greenfield, had not been located at the time Creech and Woodside went down. Although Greenfield was picked up on 07 March, Captain McDonnell was not recovered.
